…and life goes on…

Today’s Music: Jimmy Buffett – Pencil Thin Mustache
Note on Today’s Music: I play a lot of Jimmy Buffett. One day my mother heard this and asked what it was. Whenever I put in a Jimmy Buffett tape/CD after that, she’d ask if this song was on it.

I’m sorry about your mom. I’m coming up on the 4th anniversary of my mom’s passing. She and I would go on drives and listen to Jimmy Buffett’s Feeding Frenzy Live and he cracked her up. He is happy making. Hugs to you. maggie

Some flowers for you http://liveclay.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/lilac-wine.jpg I wish I could do more. I know this next chapter in your life will be difficult, especially in the beginning. Sending you lots of love, and hoping you will again experience some of the joy, humor, and coolness that you spread around each and every week, even while grieving.

Guapo,
First my deepest sympathy and empathy. It will be 5 years since losing my father.
You never forget their love, the pain stays, but the good memories make you laugh harder as time goes on, instead of making you melancholy.
Think it’s fab that your mom dug Pencil Thin Mustache -great fun song, and a tune my mom would love as well. Think I’ll burn her a Buffet CD and include that tune especially.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful memory of yourself and your mom.

Be well my friend,

Oh El Guapo,
I am beyond sorry. She truly must have been a woman of immeasurable love and kindness to have raised a son a wonderful as you. I realize that I am merely a blog friend, but if there is something, anything, I can do just say the word. Hang in there, friend. – Heidi

I’m so very sorry, Guapo. I hope you’re able to focus on all the sweet memories. She raised quite a wonderful son – likely her best accomplishment. She looks like a good and kind soul. Hope you can find peace and comfort during this hard time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. xoxo

Oh, Guap, I am so sorry. I had a feeling something was wrong last night when you were Twitter Silent for so long.
I wish that I had any words to lessen your pain, but my lexicon is sorely lacking. The words, unfortunately do not exist.
Know how grateful I, like so many others, am to your mother for bringing such an incredible son into the world. Through you and your gifts with words, humor, music, and the immeasurable kindness of your heart, you have touched so many lives. You have made the world a better place for so many of us, and so has your mother, by bringing you into this world.
Thank you for sharing your world with us.
We will be here now to help hold you up when the tough days come.
Take one moment, one deep breath at a time, dear friend.
Know that more love and light is coming your way than you can even imagine.
Boatloads of it is coming from me.
Always,
Amy

Oh,Guapo! My heart just broke for you! I am so sorry for your loss. You are such a sweet and thoughtful person – I wish I could think of something better to say, but I’m at a loss. (definitely, thinking of you and hoping you are okay, friend.)

Oh, El Guapo, I am struck by this sad news. I’m so sorry for your loss. I wonder if this is related to the hospital visits? You must have been under a considerable amount of stress for some time and yet you blogged with grace and never complained about the strain. I don’t think there is any loss greater than that of a parent. Your mom must have been a lovely woman to have had a son as thoughtful and considerate as you. I will be thinking about you and your family. Cyber hugs to you all.

Guapo, I’m so sorry for your loss. Time with those we love is never long enough, but they do live on in our hearts and memories. I know she must have been a very special woman because you are a special man. You are always gracious, positive and generous. You look at life as an adventure and a gift. Such a wonderful spirit as yours must have been nurtured by another wonderful spirit. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I see such kindness in your mother. And she did a wonderful job judging from the way you turned out. You are such a kind, funny and caring person and that’s why you are so loved by all of us. Losing your mom is one of the hardest things we go through in life. Even though you think you’re prepared, you can never be prepared. I’ll be thinking of you and sending you all my good wishes. ❤
